Drinking contest?
Hearing these words, all the envoys were stunned and looked at Qi You in astonishment.
Indeed, drinking contest was a common form of entertainment in banquets. However, it was only suitable for people who were familiar with each other. After all, there was only one result of drinking contest, and that was to get drunk. It was rare to see a drinking contest in a royal banquet.
However, this game was not unplayable. Soon, there were sounds of agreement.
Qi You saw this and said with a smile, "The wine this time is not ordinary wine. It is the hottest wine in Shang Qi, 'Fragrant Wine'."
Fragrant Wine?
Hearing this, the envoys were stunned. They had heard of this wine before. It was said that it was very intoxicating. Even an expert drinker would not be able to last long with Fragrant Wine.
"Since it is a game, we naturally have to compete." Qi You looked at the crowd and said with a smile, "Each table will send six people. Whoever falls first will lose. Of course, Shang Qi, as the host, will give a big gift to the person who can last until the end! "
Hearing this, the surrounding envoys cheered. Only Purple Lake City's side remained silent.
That was because Qi You had mentioned six people.
Purple Lake City was different from the other envoys. It was just a city. The other cities were all countries, so there were many envoys. However, there were only six people at their table.
In other words, if they participated in the drinking contest, even the princess would have to participate.
However, none of the envoys paid attention to Purple Lake City's situation. Soon, everyone agreed. Yang Mu saw this. Although she could offend Shang Qi, she could not offend so many countries at the same time. Just as the executive beside her was about to speak, Yang Mu stopped him.
Yang Mu gave him a look, indicating that he did not need to say anything. Lu An saw Yang Mu's expression and frowned slightly.
"Since no one objects, then it's decided!" Qi You saw this and said loudly, "Come, serve the wine!"
Once the order was given, the servants immediately took action. Soon, two rows of palace maids came up from both sides with wine and placed the wine on each table.
Because there were six people, there were six jugs of wine on each table. Each jug of wine was very big. Perhaps no one could finish six jugs of wine.
Seeing the wine on the table, Qi You smiled and said, "As the host, I naturally have to drink with everyone! Now, please choose six people. The first person to go on stage, please stand up! "
Immediately, one person from each table stood up. As for the Purple Lake City table, an executive stood up.
Confidence and fighting spirit were written all over the faces of the envoys. As envoys of the country, they naturally had to go abroad frequently. Banquets were unavoidable, so everyone's alcohol tolerance was very good and they were very confident.
It was a simple drinking game, but it aroused everyone's fighting spirit. After all, this was a drinking contest on behalf of the country. No one wanted to lose.
Qi You also sent out a person. Soon, everyone filled their cups to the brim, raised their cups, and drank it all in one go with a cheer!
When the fragrant wine entered their stomachs, everyone immediately felt a burning sensation in their bodies. This Fragrant Ascension Wine was indeed worthy of its reputation. The wine fragrance was very strong. Just the first bite was enough to make these veterans feel a great pressure from their throats to their stomachs.
Qi You, who had already returned to his seat, saw this scene and his lips curled into a cold smile. Then, he turned to look at the Purple Lake City table.
Tonight, he had to let the show begin.
The envoys downed one cup after another. At the same time, the singing and dancing below began again, as if to liven up the atmosphere of the drinking game.
Amidst the cheers of the crowd, the envoys had already downed seven cups. At this moment, the faces of some of the envoys turned very red. At the same time, their bodies swayed as if they were about to faint.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. I can still drink two more cups. At least, I can't collapse in front of others!"
"…"
With this belief, everyone's alcohol tolerance exceeded their limits. By the twelfth cup, the envoys had collapsed on the table one by one.
However, this was only the first person. There were still five more to go.
The person who stood up from the Purple Lake City table was another executive. Unlike the envoys of the other countries, he had a strong belief that he could not let the princess drink.
Even if he had to risk his life, he had to drink!
With this belief, the envoys of the Purple Lake City table were indeed able to drink one or two cups more than the other countries. Currently, they were among the top in the rankings of more than ten countries. However, by now, all the envoys had already noticed the situation in the Purple Lake City table. They were not worried that the Purple Lake City table would get first place.
However, this was probably the first time they had seen the princess drinking game.
Gulp!
Gulp!
When it came to the third person, the drinking game had completely entered the battle stage. Cup after cup, the crowd drank faster and faster amidst the loud cheers and singing and dancing.
In less than two hours, the second person from the Purple Lake City table collapsed.
The third person stood up with a tragic expression on his face.
In fact, he was not very good at drinking. This was because when he went to a banquet in another country, even if he drank, there would be the two people in front of him to drink. The purpose of his existence was to better communicate with other countries. However, he did not expect that he would have to compete in drinking.
The two people in front of him were drinking with all their might. They did not care whether they could withstand it or not and just forced themselves to drink cup after cup. Now, the two of them were lying on the table, almost completely unconscious. Saliva kept flowing out, and they were even burping and pulling their hair hard.
Looking at the two people, the executive took a deep breath.
Although he did not know how to drink, it did not mean that he would not fight with all his might.
He raised his hand and immediately poured himself a cup of wine. Then, he raised it up high with the rest. Then, he brought it to his mouth. Suddenly, the pungent smell made him want to throw it away.
However, he frowned and opened his mouth wide, drinking it in one gulp!
Gulp, gulp!
"Cough, cough, cough!!!"
It was just one cup, but he almost vomited. He coughed hard, as if he was going to vomit his intestines out.
However, even the coughing did not stop him from pouring the wine. Soon, he raised the cup and downed it again!
The remaining three people from the Purple Lake City looked at this scene, and their faces became very serious.
Finally, after the fourth cup, the person could not take it anymore and collapsed. If Lu An did not reach out to grab him in time, he would have fallen to the ground!
Lu An quickly took out a Constitution-Enhancing Pill and stuffed it into the person's mouth. Then, he placed the person on a chair.
The third person from the Purple Lake City had fallen. It was time for the fourth person.
At the side, Xiao Lan's eyes turned cold. She was about to stand up, but someone pressed on her shoulder.
"Let me do it," Lu An looked at Xiao Lan and said softly.
Xiao Lan's heart skipped a beat. She quickly turned to look at Lu An. In her eyes, among the remaining three people, Lu An's status was obviously much higher than hers. She did not expect that Lu An would go up before her.
Lu An naturally had to go up. He could not let a girl go up before him.
When Lu An stood up, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone. Because the situation in the Purple Lake City was too special, they had always been noticed. However, no matter what, Lu An was too young.
Looking at him, he was probably not more than 15 years old. Could a young man like him really drink?
On the other side, when Qi You saw Lu An stand up, the sneer on his face became more obvious. No matter what, this kid would definitely fall today.
After standing up, Lu An looked around. After exchanging glances with everyone, he lowered his head and poured himself a cup of wine.
Then, like the previous three people, he raised his cup high. At this moment, he was the fourth person from the Purple Lake City. The other countries only had the third person.
When everyone saw this, they all raised their cups. No matter what, for a young man to stand up and compete with them in drinking, his courage alone was enough to earn everyone's respect.
"Cheers!"
Lu An shouted together with everyone. Then, he placed the cup in front of him and downed it!
